Chapter 24 “Shall we begin the dinner.” Lennox announced, and to that was uniformly dressed maid trooping in the dinning room and began serving everyone.Avon’s plate was soon served with a sumptuous amount of his desired meal, laying a napkin over his lap and picking up his eating utensils and wanting to dig in he heard his name being called.“Avon!” Lennox had called, halting his action from inserting the fork and knife further in his meal. He gave a responsive look, that depicts his attentiveness to his call.Lennox looked away from him instead, his gaze traveling to Royce and Oscar, “I want the both of you eating Avon’s served meal on that plate instead of the ones in front of you.” He said, referring to the two men he was staring at with seriousness lurking over his tone. Royce and Oscar exchanged glances, a weird look blowing up their faces as they gape around wondered why they’ve been ordered to do that. Royce knew why, only Oscar doesn’t because Vance was suppose to lie a
Chapter 25The words slipped gently out of Avon’s lips, seeping slowly to everyone’s hearing, different expressions surfacing on each faces at the heard of it.Lennox was stunned and confused at the same time, he knew his sons are trying to kill him and after telling them not to, some still disobeyed and went ahead with the plan, that was the reason why he asked for the poisoned plate to be switched with those still pursuing the plan. He had no idea that it was the cup that was poisoned instead. “What are you saying?” Lorraine had asked aloud, her gaze fixated on her husband with a befuddled look expressed wildly on her face. “This dinner that we are invited to wasn’t an acceptance dinner, it’s instead a plan to lure us here so I can be killed.” Avon replied, his hard face staring at no one rather at Lennox who was still confused at the uttered statement, he believed he knew about the plan and the confusion and stupefaction on his face was an act. “What!” Lorraine exclaimed, unbel
Chapter 26“Wow…” Lorraine breathe out, leaning back on her seat and seeming dazed with everything that just happened. “Oscar! Royce! Do you both still have anything to say?” Lennox inquired, with his palms folded and shielding his talking lips while he stared at the both of them with a lowered eyes.“Grandfather, you have to understand this man right here is useless, we need Lorraine to marry someone that can help this family, not this invalid human right here, he shouldn’t be given any chance. The Wilson’s family are still there and probably strategizing their revenge on our family, we can’t let this man in our family just like that, no we just-““Will you shut your disgusting hole up this moment!” Lennox shouted at Royce, sealing his lips shut off the words he was spewing that was getting Lennox’s nerves uptight. “How dare you talk like that after disobeying my order!” He yelled again, this time with visible anger supporting his voice, and reflecting clearly on his face.“I was e
Chapter 27Avon Barksdale soon arrived at home, going straight to his office while sending for his assistant to meet him there immediately.“What do you have now on them?” He asked the moment he felt his presence gracing the room. Seeming busy with the gun he was corking and a mask he was preparing.“As predicted, they’ve gathered at their usual spot to mourn the loss of their leader, I have gotten their location and it’s right here with me. Now you can go after all of them at once.” He replied, his head bowed the whole time he was talking. “Keep a close eye on that girl and find out about those who she said are after are, I will be back soon.” Avon said, done with what he was doing and immediately moving out of his office with his assistant following closely behind him. “Alright, General.” He responded, before letting his boss walked off and away totally from him, also taking a new turn that leads to the room where Kory resides. Avon got in the awaited vehicle, settling down wi
Chapter 28The Next Day. Although the Wilson’s party is scheduled to start at evening, but Avon was already out of the house. His destination unknown to everyone, not even to his personal trusted assistant.Finn acting on his orders on the other hand, had gone over to the Hales’ Villa to bring back Lorraine, getting there it wasn’t only Lorraine that was packed and ready, her cousin as he heard was also packed beside her and both ready to follow him back to the mansion. And he wouldn’t dare question this.Finn said nothing to that than respect the General’s wife wishes of coming along with a guest and helping them transfer their luggages to the vehicle with the helps of the other escorts he came with. Not long have they gotten back to the mansion, with their things getting offload from the vehicle. “Ma’am, shall I move your things to master’s bedroom or you would prefer to use yours?” Finn asked Lorraine, his head bowed in respect to her. “I prefer my husband’s room, what would I
Chapter 29“Hey, is the so called Uncle’s look alike still in this house, I’m still imagining her face we need to go see her.” Faye, the cousin of Lorraine who had followed her sister said out on the bed she was sitting on.She was alone in the room with Lorraine, the both of them randomly catching up on what they’ve missed on each other lives. This has been ongoing since yesterday, Lorraine had told her the other night about Kory, but forgot to mention about her being her lost twin sister. “Oh didn’t I tell you?” Lorraine asked, her brows squeezed as she gazed at her with her face scrunched. “That she looks exactly like your dad, yeah you did or is there more to know?” Faye questioned in return, squinting her eyes a bit back at her. “Well after dinner yesterday when I followed mom to her room, she actually opened up about the past, turns out Kory is actually my twin sister, the doctor told her she was dead then as a newborn child but turns out she wasn’t and now she’s back after
Chapter 30Lorraine’s lips were hung apart while she stared at Kory dumbfounded by what she just said. Is she kidding her? “Why are you both still sitting here and staring at me? I said-“This is my husband’s house Kory, you don’t fucking tell me where to go or where to enter, most especially you don’t command me to do things or even tell me what to do at all. Are you getting me?” Lorraine said, cutting her off her statement and coming into the room further and away from the entrance, her steps daring as an awed scoff dropped off her mouth.“Oh really, I bet you’re one of those-““If I want you out of this house you’ll be out.” Lorraine said again, interrupting her words before they make sense, taking a bitchy stance with a bitchy expression expressed clearly on her face.“Oh really?” She questioned as she bursted out laughing, she laughed for awhile as it slowly died down turning to a sniff, “I can’t believe you’d want to do that to your sister?” She pouted suddenly, placing a palm
